The cheapest Greyhound ticket from Little Rock to Burlington is $202.

The bike will cost an additional $30 or $40 dollars ( [link to www.pinch-flat.com (secure)] ), and you'd have to trust it to make every connection between four different buses. It's also a 2 to 3 day trip.

Amtrak is $250, similar 2 to 3 days, and is two trains and a bus.

Right now there's a $172 flight with two connections /14 hours with layovers on United, and several one connection / 6 hour trips for $310.

The bike would be $150 or under depending on the airline and how you pack it. [link to www.twowheeledwanderer.com (secure)]

All things combined, traveling by bus may not actually be the cheapest method.
